cmd/go: support URL Redirection in "go get" from custom to known import path?Mar 29, 2017

Well, it seems that by following the redirect, the go get command does get the meta tags for the known import path. The problem is that it then checks that known path against the custom import path and actively rejects it. It would be nice if that could be ignored by a flag or something. I'm not exactly sure of the purpose of that check to begin with.
